Haiku: A-choo!

The Common sneezeweed
Attracts bees and butterflies
Large showy flowers

Golden petals and red headed Common sneezeweed

Allergy sufferers need not worry about being around sneezeweed. Interesting that this flower has a history of use when crushed to make a form of snuff that caused sneezing. Fascinating! Legend also says that these flowers sprang from the ground where Helen of Troy’s tears fell.
